SETUP AND CONFIGURATION PROBLEMS
1. HOW DO I CONFIGURE MY DIR-514 Wireless N300 4G LTE/3G Router WITHOUT
THE INSTALLATION CD, OR CHECK MY WIRELESS NETWORK NAME (SSID) AND
WIRLESS ENCRYPTION KEY?
- Connect your PC to the DIR-514 using an Ethernet cable.
- Open a web browser and enter the router address: http://192.168.0.1

factory defaults in order to set the password back to blank.

DEFAULT SETTINGS?

Setup Wizard.

WIRELESS NETWORK NAME (SSID) OR WIRELESS ENCRYPTION KEY?

Wireless Network Name (SSID) and encryption key has been entered.
- Use the web based user interface (as described in question 1 above) to verify or choose your
wireless settings.

connected PC. You will fi nd a dedicated area on the back of this document to write down this
important information for future use.
